fine-tune the three columns of sonar data. RealVü™ 3D Historical – Historical scanning technology helps find fish and build a map of the ocean floor while the boat is moving. It shows the entire water column in 3D, from the bottom to the surface and all fish in between. The True Motion 3D sonar returns feature follows the vessel’s course over the ground. The stainless steel thru-hull PS70 transducer is also equipped with image stabilization that allows it to continuously adjust the sonar beams to compensate for boat motion, so even in rough conditions, anglers will still see a steady sonar image. QUICK ON THE DRAW Nobody knows the waters better than the anglers that fish them, and now with the PS70, it’s faster than ever before for anglers to survey the ocean floor in amazing detail. Thanks to enhanced QuickDraw Contours™, anglers can survey wide areas at depths up to 1,000’ below the surface, making it easy to view and store detailed contour maps in real time. Users have the option to contribute their data to the QuickDraw Community so it can be integrated into Garmin Navionics+ charts, or keep their contours saved to their personal chartplotter. The PS70 transducer can be flush or pocket mounted. It’s available now with a suggested retail price of $4,799.99, or as a bundle that includes a fairing block to allow for deadrise angles of 0 to 20 degrees and mounting hardware for $4,999.99. It’s compatible with a wide range of Garmin GPSMAP® chartplotters; click here for a full list of compatible devices.
